Plugging in for power

AC OUTLET POWER SUPPLY: 120V~60Hz

Refer to the “Clock” section and

follow the instructions to get the

clock time shown correctly with the

Auto Clock set feature.

Battery back-up operation

• This clock radio is equipped with

a memory holding system that can

be powered with 2 “AA” batteries

(included). The power failure

protection circuit will not operate

unless battery is installed.

• When normal household power

is interrupted, or AC line cord

is unplugged, the batteries will

power the clock radio to keep

track of time and alarm settings

programmed into memory.

• When the battery backup functions,

the digital display will not light,

however, the function of alarm

still occurs during the power

interruption if remaining battery

power is adequate.

• Normal operation will resume after

AC power is restored so you will not

have to reset the time or the alarm.

To install batteries:

1. Remove battery compartment door

(located at the bottom of the radio)

by applying thumb pressure to the

tab on battery door and then lift

the door out and off the cabinet.

2. Insert 2 AA batteries (included).

3. Replace the compartment door.

Note: we recommend that you replace

the batteries every year.

Power failure indicator

When AC power is interrupted

(disconnected) for a short period of

time, both time and alarm settings

will change (unless batteries are

installed). After AC power is restored

(reconnected), the Digital Display

will blink to indicate that power was

interrupted and you should readjust the

time and alarm settings.

Power is fed to the unit even

when it is not functioning. To

cut the power supply off, the

power cable must be unplugged.
